Question

which type of food would be the most likely to cause a foodborne illness?
○ frozen corn
○ baked potatoes
○ sliced cucumbers
○ instant soup mix

question 2
which of the following is not considered a potentially hazardous food?
○ a soy burger
○ cooked rice
○ cooked beans
○ dried parsley

Explanation:

For Question 1: Baked potatoes, if held at improper warm temperatures, can grow Clostridium botulinum which causes foodborne illness. Frozen corn is preserved by freezing, sliced cucumbers have low moisture for slow pathogen growth, and instant soup mix is dry with no viable pathogens.
For Question 2: Potentially hazardous foods support pathogen growth. Dried parsley has very low moisture, preventing pathogen growth, unlike soy burgers, cooked rice, and cooked beans which have moisture and nutrients for pathogens.

Answer:

Question 1: B. Baked potatoes
Question 2: D. Dried parsley
